The Weequay was gazing back at him through the crowds of inmates, the clawbird perched on his shoulder. Maul watched as he pulled a scrap of greasy-looking bantha suet from the pocket of his uniform and held it up unhurriedly for the bird to snatch from his fingers. In the blink of an eye, the food disappeared, and the Weequay dug out another chunk. The bird gobbled it even faster than before, its head bobbing in an eager attempt to get the morsel down its throat.

With the metal case that Coyle had given him still at his hip, Maul shoved his way through the crowd, knocking over other inmates. But when he got to where the Weequay had been standing, the other was gone.

Maul turned and looked in every direction. The corridors were clearing now as the last stragglers returned to their cells for matching. The clarion blared on.

You’re so close now. You can’t stop.

Maul turned and almost ran headfirst into the guard standing there.

“You heard the clarion.” The guard glared at him. “Why aren’t you in your cell?”

“I’m on my way now,” Maul said.

“Hold it, maggot.” The guard glared at the metal case in Maul’s hand. “What’s that?”

“I salvaged it from the pile in Nightside.”

“What’s inside?”

“Nothing.”

“Nothing?” The guard yanked the case from Maul’s hands and popped it open, lifting the lid and tipping it upside down.

A loose pile of bones fell out, clattering to the floor. Kicking them aside, the guard tossed the case and glared at Maul. “Get to your cell now.”
